On November 4, when Verizon unveiled the HTC Rezound with red capacitive buttons and Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, we’ve been told November 14 was the day to circle in our calendar for the phone’s launch.

This information didn’t stop some eager owners from trying to get it early and it appears it paid off: some Verizon reps are also eager to sell the device over the phone. Additionally, some early adopters were surprised to get their pre-order shipped to their doorstep almost a week earlier so if you are eager yourself to get the new HTC-phone you might want to try, though it’s not guaranteed.
